Now, I don't believe a damn word he says, and he (amongst others) has played a significant part in my complete uninterest in major sporting events. </p> I were right about that saddle on "We're going to smash it says sir Dave B" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18890#post-284295 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 13:31:09 +0000 I were right about that saddle 284295@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Extraordinary words.

I think everyone knew that an attack was coming, but few expected it to stick.</p> <p>I found the article plausible that they needed to go all in, that Michelton Scott helped them by tiring themselves out by chasing down every move and the fact that the Dumoulin Group wasn't collaborating well. </p> <p>The food bit was a bit odd,but it seems that they were positioning lots of staff all the way up the Finestre so that Froome could eat and drink without having to carry it.</p> <p>Still don't trust Dave B or Froome at all. </p> Murun Buchstansangur on "We're going to smash it says sir Dave B" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18890#post-284270 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 22:58:19 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 284270@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sky smashed the Dauphiné TTT as well today.

Food. No wonder nobody could touch Froome. No one else would have thought of food.</p> <p>Carbs apparently or maybe TRIPE </p>
